“These songs mean more to me than anything I’ve ever done…” Says the guy who brought us “Starry Night” and who took home a Dove Award for New Artist of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year in the same year and who has had a distinct, life-altering, life-saving encounter with his Maker.

In 2012, Chris August’s entire world turned upside down when a skateboarding accident put him in the hospital with a bruised and bleeding brain. Eventually, his body began to heal, but the incident left him dependent on medication. When he weaned himself off, depression set in. “It was by far the hardest year of my life,” says Chris. “But that’s when a huge breakthrough happened.”

While on tour with Big Daddy Weave, he became an eyewitness to healing and redemption. When he prayed for his own, God’s answer was immediate, tangible and soon became the bedrock of what is now Chris’s third album, The Maker.

Each song is personal, yet inviting; challenging, yet encouraging. Renewing his partnership with Ed Cash in the producer’s chair, the musicality takes the message of each song exactly where Chris is hoping it will go—straight into the heart of someone who needs to hear, see, touch, believe hope.

“There’s nothing better than when you’re at a show and someone comes up before or after and says a song impacted them,” Chris says. “I never take that for granted. Without that, all I’m doing is making music. It’s just songs and melody and what’s the point?” he concludes. “But when it’s impacting someone and inspiring them and encouraging them and the Lord’s in it…at that point, it’s much more than music.”

From worship to inspirational originals, Summer Frost has been making her way to the top in Jacksonville's local music industry.

Summer says: "For me, songwriting has become another language. To sit down and let God speak to my heart and watch it unfold into a song is as refreshing to me as it is to others. I enjoy how God uses music more than the music itself. I write of life, love, and personal experiences in hopes that somehow it'll inspire someone to let Christ use them in ways bigger than they could ever imagine. I ran from doing music for so long because I thought it was too difficult but now I've stopped running, and hope you'll take the time to stop running too and Be Still.

Also, if anyone is wondering, Frost is my middle name and also my grandfathers last name. He is one of my most favorite people in the world and I hope to carry his name on."
